Common questions about Ferries in Taiwan
What Ferries routes are there in Taiwan?
We sell 16 Ferries routes in Taiwan, serving 6 places, run by 2 operators. Every one of those routes has an operator that actually serves it, so the count is the network we can sell rather than every pair of places on a map.
How much do Ferries tickets in Taiwan cost?
The cheapest Ferries fare in Taiwan is €11.88 for one passenger, across the 16 routes we sell there. The median route runs 110 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.
Can I travel out of Taiwan by Ferries?
4 of the Ferries routes we sell touching Taiwan cross a border and 12 stay inside it, reaching 1 other countries including Japan. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.
Which operators run Ferries services in Taiwan?
2 operators run Ferries services on routes we sell in Taiwan: 台灣航業, 東聯航運股份有限公司. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalogue, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.
What is the longest Ferries route in Taiwan?
The longest Ferries route we sell touching Taiwan runs from Ishigaki to Keelung, 259 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 110 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.
Where these numbers come from
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
